United States of America (USA)

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) was established in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to provide educators, policymakers, and the public with a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education. The WWC is administered by the Department, through a contract to a joint venture of the American Institute for Research and the Campbell Collaboration. The WWC provides its findings in accessible, user- friendly, online reports, which include the following: Reports on evaluation studies that pass the WWC standards, reports on the research base for each identified intervention, reports that synthesize the evaluation studies of interventions within defined topic areas. WWC collects, screens, and identifies studies of effectiveness of educational interventions ( programs, products, practices, and policies).
